Weight: 29.6g

Poison was first released with Poison Serpent SW145SD. It is predominantly circular, with fifteen small rectangular spikes on its circumference. Each spike curves to the side in a Counter Clock-Wise direction. These spikes tend to have extensive amount of recoil, Similar to the Rock and Dark Wheels. This trait makes Poison relatively useless. Unlike the Rock Wheel, Poison's recoil doesn't cause it to bounce away from it's opponent when it makes contact. Instead, it loses an extensive amount of Stamina. Similar to the Dark Wheel's recoil, but much worse. The Wheel is relatively thin throughout. The design of Poison has a raised perimeter, which, like Flame, exposes more of the Track below than other wheels. This makes it easier for other Beyblade's to strike its Track, and the mix in characteristics makes it perform badly in all areas, similar to Dark.

Weight: 4.2g

SW145 has three wings which can be removed and "switched" to have either defensive or offensive properties. It is switched by removing the bottom and pulling the wings down. After the first few times of changing the modes, the wings may start to rattle, causing a loss in Stamina and Defense. The wings on this Track are shaped in a random pattern that is similar to the blades of a fan. Circular shapes seem to work much better for defense Tracks. When in Attack mode, the tip of the wings face counter clock-wise. When in Defense mode, the tips face clock-wise. Although this seems like a good concept, it performs badly in both areas and the difference in performance is negligible. The reason behind this terrible performance is that the "Wings" are approximately 1 mm thick, and do not provide enough protection against low attackers, due to a considerable gap between them and the Metal Wheel. Better choices for Attack would be would be 85, 100, or CH120, and better choices for Defense would be GB145, R145, or 230.

Weight: 0.5 grams

Just as the Semi-Flat Bottom has a sharper tip than Flat, so too does Semi-Defense when compared to Defense. Before the release of SD, D was the absolute best Stamina Bottom available, but SD quickly took over the top spot.

SD is not able to wobble as much as D, so for defensive purposes, D should still be chosen over SD if you are trying to add some Stamina to your Defense custom. That being said, WD would be a better choice than D for that situation, and also arguably for Stamina as well because with the even wider tip. With it, it is allowed to circle the stadium in some situations when it is on a larger angle towards the end of a battle, thus outspinning D or SD based opponents. However, sometimes this does not happen, and SD easily knocks over the wobbling WD custom before it topples over itself.

It really comes down to personal preference when deciding whether to use SD or WD because they are so closely matched. For pure Stamina it impossible to tell which would win a given match, but WD would prepare you for more situations by being able to take hits better than SD. Test both and decide for yourself which one works best for what you are trying to do.

Use in Stamina Customizations.

SD has many uses in Top-Tier Stamina Customizations. In Takara Tomy Stadiums, SD can be used in the following Stamina Customizations.
-Virgo DF145SD
-Burn Bull DF145SD
-Earth Bull DF145SD

SD is not able to wobble as much as D, but SD has proven to outclass D in terms of Stamina. Compared to WD, SD is able to wobble at greater angles, and has a higher spin rate near the end of a battle. Many Bladers prefer WD though, due to added stability, slightly better Spin times, and it can take hits better than SD
Use in Stamina Customization
SD is a current Top Tier Stamina Bottom, which is often used in the combo Burn Bull 145 SD. It has high spin times and is difficult for many to outspin.

Overall

Poison Serpent's only competitive part is SD, which can be obtained from the infinitely more useful Dark Bull H145SD. There is little to no reason to buy this Beyblade aside from collection purposes.
